Loads of porn on Wikipedia warns co-founder

June 12, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – With over 65 million visitors per month, Wikipedia has been established worldwide as a leading information resource. But is its popularity due to its historical and scientific data?

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger warns that one of the site’s primary uses is actually for viewing pornography, and despite the outcry for content filters, none have been implemented.

“Wikipedia really faces an existential kind of question,” Sanger told LifeSiteNews. “Do they want to be an adults-only website, or one that continues to welcome children?”

A survey of 176,000 Wikipedia readers and contributors in 2010 revealed that as much as 25% of users are under 18 years old. According to Fox News, Wikipedia is used every day by millions of children doing research for school.
